Timeless Wisdom: Ultimate Issues Hour - What Do Children Need?

Josh opens the show by discussing the latest twists and turns in Operation Epic Fury. Mojtaba Khamenei is badly injured and governing as something of a "ghost ayatollah"—so who is calling the shots inside Iran? Also, what is the next step and the end game of this operation? Josh also begins to unravel the ongoing information operation against the Jewish-Christian biblical alliance, which has as its poisonous tip of the spear—who else?—Tucker Carlson himself. Later, Erick Stakelbeck, host of "Stakelbeck Tonight" on TBN and "The Watchman Newscast" on YouTube, joins Josh to discuss how to define victory in Operation Epic Fury, the great gaslighting operation that intends to unravel the indispensable Jewish-Christian biblical alliance, and why Christian Zionism and the concept of "Judeo-Christianity" flow naturally from Scripture and common sense alike.
